The Compleat Female Stage Beauty
by Jeffery Hatcher
London, 1660. The English monarchy is restored, and London’s famous theatres re-open after an eighteen-year ban. But the all-male acting companies of Shakespeare’s day hold little appeal for an audience now accustomed to the beautiful actresses of France and Italy. The sexy, violent transition from male Stage Beauties to the first English actresses is playfully imagined in this colorful historical drama.

Julius Caesar
by William Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s re-telling of the betrayal and assassination of the first Roman emperor remains a compelling political suspense story even today. Our modern take on ancient Rome uses Shakespeare’s action and poetry to debate the political risks of freedom and tyranny, conspiracy and downfall.

Guys & Dolls
music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City and soaring with the spirit of Broadway, this beloved musical has it all—smooth-talking gamblers, chorus girl cuties and a horse named Paul Revere. A singing and dancing extravaganza that spans the gritty streets of NYC to the nightclubs of decadent Havana, Guys and Dolls is rich with classic tunes like “Fugue for Tinhorns,” “Take Back Your Mink,” “I’ve Never Been In Love Before” and “Luck Be a Lady.”
